Best of the Stage by Kent Stoddart, The Beach Reporter, December 31, 2003

“These were the shows of 2003 that made the audience cry, laugh, sing and jump out of their seats to applaud.”

5. ‘Tartuffe’

“The Palos Verdes Players and director Ken MacFarlane worked with a prose translation of Moliere’s farce that paid dividends for the company. The actors reveled in the verbal repartee, created clever character business and perfectly timed the physical humor of the piece.”

As community leaders and other patrons arrived to the gala opening of London Suite, the opening play of PV Players 2003-2004 Main Stage season, they received the star treatment. Paparazzi, autograph hounds and film crews converged on the guests at the entrance to the theater on Saturday, November 15, 2003. The star treatment was in celebration of the 70 years that PV Players has been in existence in the South Bay, and to “Celebrate the Next 70 Years.” MORE…

Celebration was the name of the game when PV Players Community Theater honored one and all at its 2002-2003 Main Stage Season Awards Banquet on Sunday, November 9, 2003. For the third year in a row, Daryl Hogue and Tony Torrisi hosted the evening’s festivities and together were a smash hit with their ‘bits’ and renditions of the season’s shows.
